Some of you may have already seen this, I've shown it to a few people and if you follow me on DeviantART you might have seen it already!
Anyway, this is a game i'm making, it's the story of a mining robot named Dex who at first has a fairly relaxed life, until the plans of a mysterious organisation known as proxy start to unfold.
Character info
(click to show/hide)
Dex is the main character, he's a mining robot with a laid back personality, but when Proxies plans threaten his village, he has to MAN UP.
Skorch is a welding robot, and has been Dex's best friend ever since they were young. He is Impatient and gets spooked very easily
Golem is a large digging robot who comes from a snowy country up north. (robot planet equivilent of russia) He hates fighting and tries to find a peaceful route to any situation, however when something is a threat to his friends he will take arms against it to protect his buddies at any cost. He is a bit of a slow thinker but he is definatly not stupid.
Tesla is a young female robot who you meet in a town built on the side of a mountain, she is extremely intelligent but she is also very shy.
Shank and Blammo are two criminal robots who you encounter in a dark city notorious for it's high crime levels. Shank was jailed for stabbing people, and Blammo was committed to an asylum, as people think he is insane. It seems like he talks to himself, however he was made form the parts of a recycled robot who carries on living within him.
Melissa, Klez, Conficker and Sircam are some of the primary members of Proxy. Melissa is a mantis like robot who brainwashes people into joining proxy. Klez is a deceptive robot who also is the doctor for proxy. Conficker is a worm like robot who is proxies head of technology. Sircam is the Commander, but he is not the leader.
Einhander is a robot shrouded in mystery, who is he? Is he with Proxy? Whoever he is, he clearly wants Dex out of the way.
Osesvs is a mechanical being who created the world the characters live on. He resides in the centre of the planet.
Many of the characters here are just NPCs. See, i want every NPC in the game to be completely unique!
Gameplay
(click to show/hide)
The game will play out like a somewhat typical metroidvania. The levels are all connected, similar to metroid, rather than separate levels like most platformers. Aiming will be done with the mouse, giving you more accuracy.
You'll be able to switch between any character who is currently in your party, each one having their own special abilities and combat skills.
I'm thinking that the characters will all share one healthbar, but each character that joins will add more health to the total.
Here is various pictures I've drawn!
This guy here is Hammy, he is the first midboss of the game. He was built for the mundane task of stomping nails into place, but Confickers radio tower causes him and other less advanced droids to become agressive

I'm not currently looking for any help but if you have any ideas feel free to share them!
I'm planning on releasing a demo once the first mission is completed, to hopefully get people excited for the full game! It will be completely free, don't worry, though i will add a donate button if you want to support!
I'm not doing this for the money, I'm doing it because I want to make a game and tell a story!
Special thanks to Namo for agreeing to help me with the engine and The Broker for some fantastic ideas!

I'm still alive much to the chagrin of many!
But yes, this is without a doubt one of the most creative ideas for a game I've ever heard of - this stuff is genius. I've been genuinely impressed with every aspect that Brotoad has told me about.
You gotta love Brotoad's sprites, they're fantastic.

Looks like the type of game that will make my hands bleed from overplaying
Be sure to add many secrets so that people will be talking about getting a 100% completion for many years!
One of the reasons i liked the metroid games so much

How far are you on the project? I like the idea, will the characters have different weapons? And since you're aiming with the mouse, does this mean you can aim anywhere?

i haven't started making the actual game yet.
each character has their own weapon
dex has a standard laser gun.
skorch has a flamethrower
golem uses a shovel that can deflect bullets
tesla has an electric stun gun. it does more damage to airborne enemies, causing them to crash to the ground
blammo uses a kind of grenade he invented that can also be used as a baseball bat weapon.
each character can also find special upgrades. the only one i have so far is that skorch can get a baloon that combines with his flamethrower. aiming upward after a jump lets him use it as a small handheld hotair balloon for gliding.
and yes, you'll be able to aim anywhere, though bullets will not go through walls.
